Thank you @billpeduto for your kind words. I remember meeting you for the first time at @alphalab for a Podcamp Pgh meetup when you were on the City Council. Your enthusiastic, lasting support for the Pgh startup ecosystem was greatly appreciated and a huge catalyst!.
Thank you for your leadership @jimcjen these past 20 years in building the ecosystem for Pittsburgh’s startup economy. Can’t wait to see what your next 20 years will bring to our region.
